Abstract
The common idea of metaphor can be extended to mean a way of treating the world as if it is a certain way, a way of interacting with it through a particular frame. In this sense, metaphor is pervasive and is essential in the creation of reality. Two basic metaphors are the ideas that THERE IS ONLY ONE REALITY OR TRUTH and THERE ARE MULTIPLE REALITIES AND TRUTHS. The inferiority complex of the social sciences arises only within the one-reality metaphor, not within the multiple-realities metaphor. Reality is generated through various metaphoric processes; this article itself constructs the reality it presents through these processes. Minds, through metaphor, are necessary for there to be reality; the subject-object split is therefore not literal truth but metaphor.
